I want to say that Black girls and women in fandoms are some of the strongest people in the world, but that in and of itself is microaggressive (I’m Black, but still). We put up with a lot of hate, icing out, misplaced jealousy and concern trolling, and that’s even the case when Black female characters are treated well by the narrative, which they often are not. And yeah, we’re still here and everything, but we deserve better.
Fandom is for enjoyment, not having to be the strongest toughest person in the room. I’m older now so I have the benefit of not giving nearly as much of a shit as I did in my early 20s, but I want more for the ones still finding themselves, trying to find community and make art about the things they love.

Racist white liberal women in every fandom ever: This bw should be with some random minor character with minimal screen time and no backstory. She's simply too good to be part of one of the main romances. I'm saying this because I care. #GirlBoss

The joke in voltron where pidge asks the team what they're thinking about and Shiro responds Zarkon and Hunk responds calzones but instead of just being "Hey does it have to be about zarkon all the time" it veers into sincere territory where Hunk explains that he misses Earth food, that making replications is nice but it's like if you had a particular version of a food you liked in a store and it feels like it's not the same no matter how close they are in taste.
And then the team list various foods they miss, with Coran and Allura talking about the foods they now miss but veers in jokes again when one of the Paladins inevitably lists something so profoundly atrocious that everyone turns to them and is like "wtf are you talking about omg get your brain checked weirdo" (my bet is on shiro he probably likes a combo that shouldn't go together) and the episode ends on them all laughing at that paladin and joking together
